I was wondering.

I just wonder how long it will remain 'orange' like his other Zong...

I have not received my call yet?

C'mon Sarah, TAKE MY MONEY!

Hi guys, Joe here. Just got back from a 100 mile spirited ride in the rain. The bike handles well in the rain and the bags stayed dry. No photos...it was raining too hard to break out the camera.

If any of you are on the list and you would like to call us rather than waiting for us to call you, please do so (there are many, many names on the list and it is taking us a while to work through all of them). You can reach us at 909 445 0900 (Monday through Friday). Please ask for either of my assistants (Steve or Sarah).

Here we go again.

Culcune, my Zongshen ZS200GY-2 is, and always has been orange. I have posted numerous photographs of my Zongshen Sierra over the last 6 years. I challenge you to show me a single photograph where that motorcycle isn't orange.

When I placed my deposit, I had to ask Sarah what was the #1 color choice. No surprise that it was orange!

And yes, I'm part of the orange contingent too.

The RX3 will be sold in Malaysia under the KTN brand. You can view photographs of the KTN RX3 motorcycle at the following link.

KTN? I think BNW is closer!

We have actually seen Sukida and Yamoto. Son of Weldangrind pointed out that Zongshen's logo looks like two Honda wings, back to back.

Son of Weldandgrind is very perceptive.

I don't know what words the letters KTN represent in the Malay language.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_alphabet

However, KTN was established in Malaysia in 1956.

KTN does employ a lot of orange on its website.

I wonder who copied whom?

Indeed, Sam (SoWAG) is very perceptive.

I never noticed the similarity, myself.

Yamaha manufactured musical instruments before it manufactured motorcycles. That's why the Yamaha symbol is three, crossed tuning forks.

Apparently, the Honda symbol was inspired by Nike, the Winged Goddess of Victory.
